Meet your Wedding Planner / Stylist & Team

Hi, I'm Sheryl van Heerden, your planner and stylist for your big day! With over 12 years of experience in weddings, I absolutely love what I do. I'll be your wedding bestie, here to chat and plan every detail with you. No need to bore your family and friends with constant wedding talk—I’m just as excited as you are, so we can chat till the cows come home!

A bit more about me:

I'm married to my best friend, Ben, and we have two lively teenage daughters. I’m a former NZ National Ice Figure Skating champion and a lover of all things beautiful and feminine. My family calls me a dreamer, and I embrace it—why not enjoy a bit of fairyland fun? I adore being an entrepreneur and girl boss, finding joy in balancing work and family life. It’s a true blessing, and I’m grateful for it every day.

I’m passionate about love and weddings. During consultations, I love hearing my couples’ love stories and the excitement in their voices as they share why they want to get married.
